I’ve tried F4 a couple of times - great game but it is just so bleak. Both times I drifted away.

PoE & PoE Deadfire were both wonderful games. I have a hardcover PoE Guidebook signed by about 30 members of the Team that developed the game.

Thank you. Hadn’t seen that reporting and that should make a difference when it comes to all our choices.

Couple of things - I have no idea what you’re talking about with respect to Microsoft and Avowed was a pretty great game. You’ve purchased it. Even if you don’t cover it, I think you’d enjoy playing it.

Ummmm - maybe - I don’t know. I enjoy AAA games. I enjoy some indie games. I don’t really like TCG RPGs but many do and I’m glad for them. There are great titles in every segment of the industry. I only meant - play what you enjoy. It’s your money and your time.

I would highly recommend. It’s a wonderful game. If you’re struggling, just turn on God Mode - it’ll get progressively easier until there’s little challenge left.

I think it’s not uncommon these days. I know a number of people that stream the games or just watch all the cut scenes but don’t actually play.

Keanu Reeves is nice to everyone - why should he be any different in CyberPunk? 😀

Great gaming, sports, art and lit communities here - particularly speculative fiction.

I was able to stop turning pages after the 1st book. I found it very tiresome.

Comment is actually a question: did it bother anyone else that the Soviet Union was able to transport the equivalent of Los Alamos National Labs and an army brigade to Hawkins IN - then locate them in a massive excavation half a mile underneath a suburban shopping mall?? Impressive work!!

I usually just game through the night when that happens - catch up on sleep on the other side. I have to say though - it’s getting much tougher to do that every year.

Appreciate the chance to exchange opinions on this one. It was an exceptional series of games.

One of the many beautiful things about the game is that the player defines Shep. I play Paragon. I also play a Shep that aligns with my own ethics and I don’t think I could even contemplate a Shep that facilitates a double genocide and sacrifices a friend and shipmate unnecessarily. Just me.

Agree with your points about the Paragon / Renegade system - it’s reputation based and not an ethical or moral scale.
